David Young Scam on Web Developers

I was wondering when this scam was going to hit my inbox for the 3rd time. I think when I was 18 - I would've been very excited to engage with this person even assuming they are scammers.

Hi Potential Partner,

(1) I am responding to your advertisment on a website, as a web
developer, meaning you have invited me to send you this email, however I
have no intention of repeatedly sending emails to you, therefore there
is no need to ask for unsubscribe. While these contents may not
precisely meet your current desires, it is a genuine offer and should be
considered carefully, although it is realised it will only attract a
high achiever.

(2) A friend and I are building a website but need some help coz
currently the learning process is very slow. Free help is not
expected. It has been started by using PHP & MySQL. By
attempting to enter into hourly rate negotiations with web developers in
the past, it has been found to be no faster than learning the process
from the Internet, and for that reason web developers on a partnership
basis are now sought.

(3) We are seeking one leading developer and also developers who operate
in a special industry. The leading developer needs big ambitions, but
more importantly works speedily and be very reliable, and be able to
help lead a huge project and have the determination to succeed with a
burning desire to become very wealthy, both in asset and in knowledge,
and be able to set aside personal emotions and conflicts that involve
other people. Setting aside personal emotions and conflicts means to
behave as if matters did not happen when people upset your feelings by
disagreement or for you to behave towards people in a professional
manner when you believe they are not nice. Initially part time input,
probably 2-3 hours per day, would be acceptable and any full time work
can continue as usual.

(4) The intricate details of the intended website cannot be provided coz
if they were any person could beat us to the goal line. That is
sensitive information which will not be released. Basically, it will
be a very unique international trading website that will be able to
offer all goods and services at substantially reduced prices, and will
provide free advertising for the same, and provide employment
opportunities for everyone around the world, and will provide very
attractive environmental incentives. It will be 100% legal and will
enforce natural justice. It will be a website that every law abiding
citizen will want to be a member of. There is no similar website
currently on the Internet, as if there was, we would all know about it
in a very short time.

(5) There will be no request to any of the web developers to contribute any financial or monetary payments.

(6) Web developers on a partnership basis are required, meaning a
"partnership" is that the partners are "self employed" and "share in the
profits" and receiving regular weekly or monthly payments or receiving
piecemeal payments or money paid up front do not apply. This is not a
job that we are offering nor is it an offer to pay cash on completion of
a few hours work, nor any other kind of invitation to extract money.
It is being part of a very exciting and fruitful business. A
business that will in the long term resolve all social and business
problems.. The web developers will need to acknowledge that short term
rewards have only little profit. The web developers will also need
long term foresight, as the rewards from this project are expected to
start in around 6-12 months and after 2-3 years they are expected to be
in the millions of dollars but all of that will require the utmost
dedication, work speedily, and be very reliable.

(7) Consideration is needed for the web developers to invest time of
probably 2-3 hours per day, which is not a huge investment, and be paid
for that time from the profits of the website which is expected to start
in around 6-12 months and in 2-3 years payments should be in the
millions of dollars. If a competent web developer is like many who
spend 2-3 hours per day entertaining themselves by watching non
constructive television, then a wise and constructive exercise would be
to exchange that time towards this project.

(8) We only want to receive replies from web developers personally and not their managers, assistants or agents.

(9) We do not want to receive replies from people who cheat and or scam
and or people who attempt to extract money without working for it.

(10) We get many people telling us that they are the best to hire, but
we have no interest in that kind of propaganda, therefore to enable us
to determine the web developer's level of competency we will require
from an interested person to modify some PHP coding. When that
exercise is satisfactorily completed we can release further details
about the intended website, our history and current circumstances. If
you have any questions, doubts or skepticism then those matters will be
addressed at that time.

(11) I am a New Zealand citizen and have operated businesses there for many years however I'm not in that country at this time.

(12) If you were born in a poor environment, like me, that was not your
mistake. But if you die in a poor environment that is certainly your
mistake. Like most people, I have made many mistakes in the past
however I have learnt from them. But dying in a poor environment is
not likely to be another mistake. A web developer who ignores this
opportunity may later realise the mistake.

(13) It is an ENTREPRENEURIAL WEB DEVELOPING PARTNER we are searching
for. Someone who is ready and willing to invest the small amount of
time of only 2-3 hours per day. A real entrepreneur is a person who
undertakes calculated risks together with business innovations in an
effort to transform those innovations into economic goods or services
and is willing to rely on the payments that satisfied customers are
ready and willing to pay. And if an innovation fails to meet
customer's satisfaction, a real entrepreneur will search for a remedy so
that customers are entirely satisfied, but a real entrepreneur will
never quit, works speedily, and is always reliable.

(14) Conclusively,
(a) PLEASE DO NOT reply to this email if you do not fit the description of a real entrepreneur.
(b) PLEASE DO NOT contact me if you are desperate for money to satisfy reckless spending.
(c) PLEASE DO NOT attempt to convince us that you are the best by words
alone or to try hourly, weekly or monthly payments or post or pre paid
services.
(d) PLEASE DO NOT ask me to chat on Skype or other instant messenger.
Communication by email, which keeps good record of what has been said,
is preferred.
(e) PLEASE DO NOT expect a reply to any message when it is obvious this paragraph has not been understood.
